Idk I thought we were making cool, unique, soulful worlds in old video games. It's hard for me to learn that so many of us - players and creators alike - looked at what we made as "the best we could do at the time" and what we were apparently hoping for all along was just total photorealism.

Posting stuff on the orange social is not for the faint of heart but they do provide good insight sometimes. Rework of the concept art for the protagonist. #indiedev #gamedev #pixelarr #darkfantasy
I finally have the base mechanics for my game down and it really is incredible how much faster that made creating content. I hope I can try out a demo soon, the main obstacle is now animations as I am not skilled with those and I don't really enjoy the process #indiedev #gamedev #gamedeveloper
Here are some of the enemies, but not all of them. I'm keeping a few hidden to surprise you in the game:> #indiegames #pixelart #gamedev
Man, is this quite the period... Here's another VtM art, game dev coming back soon #pixelart #vtm #bloodmoon #tatenokai
I don't know if the game I'm working on will have cutscenes, but I made one to test things out. I like the result but animating was pretty tedious. Might still use this technique if I decide to go for a small amount of cutscenes #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #animation
This is Misericorde, an enemy I designed for the game I'm working on. I really like the result but damn if they're gonna be a pain to animate with all these folds and sources of secondary motion #indiegame #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #angel
You start working on a turn based game and suddenly your favorite thing to draw is perspective stuff #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart
So a lot has happened in my life. I'm slowly getting back into making games, in the meanwhile enjoy a drawing of Thema, Queen of Summer, from a changeling the lost chronicle I'm STing 💜 #pixelart #changeling #ctl
If standing up against fascism is what cost me my dream job I held for 10 years, I would do it again 100x stronger
Alone for a while, I’ve been searching through the dark for traces of the love you left inside my lonely heart ❤️🩹 [ #ffxiv #emetselch #emetwol #azemet ]
Made a magic portal using shaders. Turned out pretty cool I'd say. I'll probably work on other cool effects for a while now, but progress has slowed down a bit cause the holidays are over and I'm back at my full time job #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev
I wasn't sure on a few things regarding Our Last Dance. I had many ideas but couldn't settle on how to portray them. I took some time to think and realized the best thing I could do is make it a roguelite. The challenge is portraying the plot correctly, as it's an uncommon one for the genre
A mock-up comic page showing the intro sequence to my indie game, Stagnant Gold. 🟡 Surely Aurelio is a stable, perfectly nice guy. 🙂👍 #zweiart #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #stagnantgold
I think I can finally present what I'm working on, despite being in very early stages This is Our Last Dance, my passion project about killing (maybe kissing??!) necromancers and vampires while being dripped out of your mind. If you like what you see do drop a follow <3 #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev
Got a dialogue system I'm decently satisfied with working. I should probably introduce the game at some point, shouldn't I? #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame
you’re the perfect subject, with the whole world in your sad eyes ⋆⭒˚.⋆ [ #oc #ocsky #art #digitalart #vampirethemasquerade #vtm ]
Another intro story panel! This one was definitely more than I could chew but it turned out alright in the end :) #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev
